Help create a safe and inclusive Halloween celebration!

Did you know that 1 in 13 children in the US are living with life-threatening food allergies? For these children and their families, celebrating Halloween can be very challenging and disappointing. Many treats contain allergens, and cross-contamination can limit the types of activities they can participate in.

That’s why we’re raising funds to host the fourth annual Capital District Teal Pumpkin Party: a FREE, allergen-friendly Halloween celebration that focuses on FUN for children ten and younger at the Greenbush Area YMCA on Saturday, October 18, 2025 from 2-4pm.

We believe that every child should have the opportunity to celebrate Halloween without the stress and worry of a potential allergic reaction. Your donation will help us create a safe and inclusive space where children can participate in every game, craft, or activity alongside their peers.
